The compute node has no internet access, but I want to install VNC on it. How do I do this?

Adding VNC

Here are some links about setting up VNC / console

In order to get the packages, we need internet access. In order to do this we have eth2 plugged into the switch as well.

Up the interface:

sudo ifconfig eth2 up

Add the route:

sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth2

Add the DNS settings:

sudo sh -c 'echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf'

When finished with internet access remove the route:

sudo route del default

Reset the DNS settings back to normal:

sudo resolvconf -u

Down the interface:

sudo ifconfig eth2 down
